• Message text: There are &1 tables which were not processed by SPUMG.

What causes this issue?

release of a combined upgrade and Unicode conversion (CU<(>&<)>UC) or in
the source release of an upgrade including the database migration option
(DMO) , all tables must be processed successfully by SPUMG. Otherwise
the upgrade is stopped in phase UCMIG_STATUS_CHK or similar phases.

How to fix this error?

In transaction SPUMG select the monitor from the toolbar and look in the
work list overview for tables with status "Initial". Schedule worker
jobs in these scan levels to process the tables.
